In the case of being unable to continue due to lack of players, it is viable to simply leave and restart to complete the first level's events again. Additionally, donating 
Pristine Toxic Spore Samples to Sergeant Walters gives 2% contribution per, meaning 50 will complete the progress as well. You can purchase the Pristine Toxic Spore Samples on the Trading Post.

Kasmeer Meade We're Going In! Dear <Character name>, I'm dashing off a quick note from our camp on Thunder Ridge in Kessex Hills. Marjory has finally discovered an antitoxin to allow us into the Toxic Alliance's tower in Viathan Lake, and Marjory and I are setting out to learn its secrets. I'd feel a lot safer if I knew you were with us. Initial reports suggest that the enemy has an assortment of unique horrors waiting for us inside their tower. Be safe and well, please.—Lady Kasmeer Meade
The noxious clouds surrounding the Tower of Nightmares have been cleared. Marjory and Kasmeer have entered the structure and are requesting help from all available heroes. Interactive map |
- Vigil Tactician Steelbreaker: Commander. The Vigil was able to borrow a chopper from the Pact in order to ferry troops into the Tower of Nightmares. We'll depart when you're ready.
I'm ready to go.
I'm not ready yet.
